From the country’s greatest musical geniuses to historic Civil Rights moments, Albany, Georgia, located about an hour off I-10 and 30 minutes from I-75, this southern city is a great place to visit and rest.

Albany has all types of adventures: Ray Charles Memorial, Chehaw Park & Zoo, Riverfront Park, Flint River Aquarium; Radium Springs Gardens, Art Museum of Albany, and the Albany Civil Rights Institute—home of the Freedom Singers.
